Tombeau de St. Genevieve, St. Etienne, Du Mont Paris, Stereoscopic Card
The Tomb of St. Genevieve is located in the St-Étienne-du-Mont church in Paris, France. St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, had her relics publicly burned during the French Revolution. However, some small surviving pieces, along with the rock on which her tomb rested, are now enshrined in the church. The church itself, situated on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, was constructed between 1517 and 1627. Notably, the church contains the tombs of Blaise Pascal and Jean Racine. The remaining relics of St. Genevieve are housed in a small chapel within the reconsecrated church, including her burial stone encased in a gold lattice and some minor remains in a glass cylinder. The church’s unique feature is a double spiral staircase, known as a jube, which originally separated the laity from the high altar. This staircase, created by Biart la Père in 1530, is the only surviving example of its kind in Paris. Card measures 6 7/8 x 3 1/4 inches.
